My Mother, My Everything Song

Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu

(Verse 1)

Mummy works so hard, no days off or pay

But her love is strong, it brightens every day

A mother's job, it never ends at all

Through sleepless nights, she answers every call

(Chorus)

You hide your pain, but smile so bright

Your heart is strong, a guiding light

My role model, you show me the way

Chase away the darkness, make everything okay

(Verse 2)

Nine months I lived inside you, tiny and new

Swimming like little fat worm and fish, kicking through and through

You felt the pain, your love never ceased

A precious gift, forever released

(Chorus)

You hide your pain, but smile so bright

Your heart is strong, a guiding light

My role model, you show me the way

Chase away the darkness, make everything okay

(Bridge)

Early mornings, you wake up before the sun

Just to get me ready, for all the fun

Sometimes you go hungry, but I never knew

You put me first, your love always true

(Chorus)

You hide your pain, but smile so bright

Your heart is strong, a guiding light

My role model, you show me the way

Chase away the darkness, make everything okay

(Verse 3)

Maybe I don't have fancy things, but that's all right

Your love surrounds me, warm and bright

No fancy meals, but home-cooked with care

A taste of love, that we always share

(Chorus)

You hide your pain, but smile so bright

Your heart is strong, a guiding light

My role model, you show me the way

Chase away the darkness, make everything okay

(Outro)

I may be silly, or do things wrong

But my love for you, will always be strong

My gold, my diamond, my guiding star

Thank you, Mum, for who you are

 

I am dark and beautiful

Solo1

I come from Africa,

I am dark and beautiful,

I glow like the sun,

My teeth are white as snow,

My kinky or afro hair looks beautiful,

And my smile dazzle in the dark like beautiful fireflies

 

Chrous 1

I am dark and beautiful,

I am wonderfully made by God,

I shine as bright as star,

So don’t look down on me, you fair city folks.

 

Solo 2

We come from Africa,

We are dark and beautiful,

We are blessed with magnificent diverse landscapes,

Tropical beaches and jungles, deserts and mountains, 

 Beautiful people, beautiful waterfalls, and everything beautiful

 

Chrous 2

We are dark and beautiful,

We are talented and gifted,

We are survivors and champions,

So don’t look down on us, you fair city folks.
